St. Kitts and Nevis citizens now need a visa to travel to Canada

Canada has implemented the visa requirement on St. Kitts and Nevis immigration due to concerns about the issuance of passports and identity management practices within its Citizenship by Investment program.

Canada is acting to protect the safety and security of Canadians and the integrity of our immigration system. The visa requirement will ensure that Canada will be able to properly determine the true identity of St. Kitts and Nevis passport holders and to deny entry to those who would otherwise be inadmissible to Canada.

Canada continues to welcome genuine visitors from St. Kitts and Nevis and has a number of programs, including a multiple-entry visa.

Government of St. Kitts reissuing all Passports to show Place of Birth and full names

The Government is attempting to tighten its security procedures, and as such will reissue all biometric passports to include both the place of birth and any name changes.  Please note that your clients must submit their passports for re-issuance, plus any necessary documents noted in the attachment, by Jan.31, 2015.  After that date, the existing passports will be voided and not usable for travel.

Please feel free to contact the Government directly on this matter (their contact information is shown in the attached notice).  Alternatively, you may contact us, and would be happy to assist you.
